Question Scene Template is Listing a Scene as a Dependency For Some Reason

    I have a scene template that has, for some reason, decided that it has another completely unrelated scene as a dependency. I double and triple-checked the scene used for the template, and it contains zero references to any other scene, so I'm a bit perplexed as to how Unity has determined that there's a dependency.

    For any other asset, this wouldn't be a big deal, as I could just uncheck its Clone box on the dependency list. However, if a scene is on the dependency list, its checkbox is locked in the checked position. This means that every time I create a scene using the scene template, a copy of the dependency scene will be created, and there's no way to change this behavior.

    How can I force Unity to remove the scene from the dependency list?

    Hi @samboknight ,

    Can you provide more information on your bug?

    - Which unity version are you using?
    - Can you share the project you are working on? If so I would suggets you log a bug using Help-> Bug reporter and attach your project to the bug report. I would try to repro and to fix.

    A few information about Scene Templates:
    - We are computing the dependencies of the scene using AssetDatabse.GetDependencies. Maybe right click on your scene and select "Select Dependencies" and check if the "faulty" scene is selected or not.
    - I have notice in code that we prevent user from modoifying the clone flag on scene (we do this for some assets that are problematic). That said, I am unsure why it is like this for scene. IMHO it should be modifiable. I will adress this in the next round of bug fixing and backport it to 22.2 and 21.3 That said if you log a bug about this you would be notified when the fix will land.
